Stumbledown Terrace by Kinski

“One of the finest rock bands Seattle has produced." - The Seattle Times

“Like Sabbath in a washing machine during a power surge.” - NME

Back to their original power trio roots following full-lengths for Sub Pop and Kill Rock Stars, cathartic riff riders Kinski have been reconciling the tension between measured sonic experimentation and massive song structure for 25 years. Step with them now into Stumbledown Terrace.

Recorded by legendary producer Tim Green at Louder Studios.

"Stumbledown Terrace will fill your need for loud-as-fuck transcendence, a black hole whorl of noise and hook that is, oddly comforting. [I]t rocks hard enough to knock the stuffing out of your ears, and that’s worth a lot. Hail Kinski.” - Dusted

“Stunning…and infectiously catchy.” - Ghettoblaster

"Stumbledown Terrace finds Kinski putting the power in power trio to the absolute max. The seven stadium-sized stoner rippers that make up their first album in seven years further raises the sonic bar that few come even close to approaching.” - Treble

“...shifts between dense textures and razor-sharp precision, reinforcing [Kinski’s] command of controlled instrumental rock while weaving in a few well-placed vocal moments. Four stars.” - The Fire Note

“[O]ne of the most interesting and dependable psychedelic bands of the 21st century. Anyone with ears open to the intersection of punky psychedelia like Television or the visionary subtext of Pacific Northwest garage rock should be worshipping this band.” - Spectrum Culture

“[Kinski] draw you in, cool and collected, soft and unexpected; blink, shift, and it crashes in… hard. Turn the volume up and you lose yourself in the Sonic Youth distortion jam of melodic drone and fuzzed out psych-metal melodies. The transition from soft beauty to earsplitting noise is done so deftly, you don’t realize your ears are bleeding until the song is over. It’s fantastic! And then perfect post-punk grooves shift into harsh cut slices before splitting back again.” - The Big Takeover

“…a nice, electric jolt of a reminder of how cool guitar music is." - Rosy Overdrive
